| WELCOME TO OCEAN WAVES! Quilt guild chapter 296 of the National Quilting Association (NQA), was founded in January 1985, and chartered NQA on May 1, 1985. Our goals are to promote interest in all aspects of quilt making, to allow members to develop skills, and to display their creations. We hold monthly meetings, publish a newsletter, organize quilt trips, and provide programs and workshops for our members. Ocean Waves has over 130 members. Anyone interested in quilts, quilt making, or related fiber arts is invited to join, regardless of skill level or area of interest. Our meetings are on the second Saturday of each month, except January when we have our installation luncheon. The doors open at 9:00 a.m. to allow members, potential members, and guests to browse the information at the membership table, check out a book--or two or three--from our extensive library, or just to get a good seat. After the business portion of the meeting may have a scheduled program featured. The speaker/lecturer may present a trunk show, entertainment, or give a demonstration as a preamble to an afternoon workshop. Before the meeting ends we have "Show and Help". We get so see what Guild members have been working on and show off our projects in a fun, supportive atmosphere. After the meeting we break for refreshments to allow members and visitors time to mingle before the afternoon workshop(s) begin. As the president of Ocean Waves Quilt Guild, I hope you come to a meeting so we can meet new friends and bond with fellow members. |
